Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I played the original Baldur`s Gate around 15 years ago, so I don`t remember everything, to compare how is EE faring compared to original. It is running okay, some bugs are fixed, I encountered some new. It also implemented new sub-classes, which were introduced originally in the BG2. This is nice. In general, I think this version is a bit easier, I found more enchanted weapons. On the contrary, there are some weird "updates", like changed the names of some items (Boots of Speed, for example). I didn`t have the opportunity to play all the additional content, but Neera is fine (I missed some usable mage) and Dorn died the encounter we should meet. In general, this is okay. When on sale, like right now, go get it.

Banish the thought of buying this game, or this series. Beamdog's idea of enhancement is to insert modern controversy into a game that was perfect before they got their filthy hands on it. Think about what activision and ea have done to all of the games they've gotten their hands on, think of how hasbro has ruined Magic the Gathering, think of how Disney has ruined Star Wars and you'll have a good idea of what beamdog did to this series.

You can brake it on multiple levels. It'll still be a great game. And some changes I enjoyed.

LOL, I was wondering why everything was so microscopic, then, I realized, DUH, this was the result ofincreased resolution. Party formation was fun; new portraits that, IMHO, were improvements over the ugly originals, and, contrary to what others have said, I thought the voice actors were fine - at least, as far as I played. But, this doesn't really feel like "true" Baldur's Gate, and, no, definitely not the way to introduce newbies to this franchise. Also, I really have nothing against "representation" and, honestly, I thought that, much as I hate to admit it, the "feminist" re-molding of Jahiera actually turned out pretty good. However, much as I hate to seem to dump on peoples' efforts, I'm starting to think that there is a corresponding drop in talent applied as the eye for agenda mongering increases. At any rate, especially for the price I see this going for at the time of this review, I think one would be much better off playing Pillars of Eternity. Fortunately, I got this on sale and didn't pay much for it. Guess I should have paid attention to why there were so many bad reviews for this. It's true, you can't go home again.

I expected this game to be bug free, but I had to scour the internet just to find out how to fix the Cloakwood and Brag bugs. Not worth your time. The game breaks on you. 25 hrs. played and I am salty about this experience.
